No Packers? No Problem – The Packers bye week, as much as it is needed for the team, is usually rough on the fans. For the previous 9 weeks our weekends have been spent looking forward to kick-off on Sunday, this weekend that’ll be missing. Luckily, there are some outlets available to us, quite a few actually.

Friday, Marquette will be playing Ohio State in the Carrier Classic. College hoops on the aircraft carrier USS Yorktown!

Saturday we have the debut of Curt Phillips as the starting QB for the Badgers on Saturday in a pivotal came against Indiana.

Sunday UW hoops kicks off their actual season against Southeastern Louisiana at the Kohl Center.

Finally, the Bucks will be playing both Friday & Saturday, taking on Washington & Boston respectively.

So yeah, there’s no Packers but there are options out there for the Wisconsin sports fan. Enjoy your Packers’ free weekend, make it a good one and we’ll see you back here Monday morning.
